volume pedal dead spot
I know I saw some threads ages ago about this,but a lot have dissapeared,
So ,Im having a bit of a dead spot with my volume pedal,near the full volume there is a spot that misses sound and drops out,
I havent opened it yet,
I just want to know whats under the pedal?
A potentiometer?a ribbon cable?
what needs to be cleaned and with what?
Some info or links to previous posts appreciated.
Thanks

I opened it ages ago,
looks like theres an optical sensor under the pedal and a hole with the plunger to pass through,
thats where dust got in and will still get in,.. in the fututre as well.
Cleaned the optical sensor with my finger,and now as good as new.
Mustve been a speck of dust as I couldnt really see any dust on it.
Its definetly not worth sending off to anyone for this minor issue..so do it yourselves.
